Gulls at Gwithian today








These images were taken today at St. Gothians NR, Gwithian in bright, strong winter sunshine - always an exposure challenge. They were taken at about 10am so the sun was still quite low and directly shining on the bird (rather than above creating shadow). I was experimenting with exposure metering and the meter was set to Spot; thus only the inner part of the frame with the bird-subject within it is correctly exposed. I was pleased with the results - white gulls and bright water are quite tricky but virtually all of the 40 shots were exposed correctly so I guess I will experiment further with this in the future.
